Delhi BJP announces ‘Viksit Delhi Pledge Ceremony’ at Ramlila Maidan

Asserting that a new chapter in the national capital’s progress was unfolding, Delhi BJP on Wednesday invited the people to the ‘Viksit Delhi Pledge Ceremony’ at Ramlila Maidan, where the Chief Minister and the rest of the cabinet will take their oaths.

In a post on social media platform X in Hindi, the Delhi BJP stated: “A new chapter of Delhi’s progress is about to begin. With the ‘Viksit Delhi Pledge Ceremony’, we all together will move towards new heights of development in Delhi. Come to Ramlila Maidan and witness this historic moment!”

The post mentions that the ceremony will take place on 20 February at 10 a.m.

Interestingly, the BJP has named the oath-taking ceremony ‘Viksit Delhi Pledge Ceremony’ following its promise of putting the national capital back on track with development. The party has blamed the previous AAP government for failing to perform its duties. Ahead of the polls, in its manifesto titled ‘Viksit Delhi Sankalp’, the BJP had promised that, when the party forms the government, it would “give Delhi a new direction”.

Meanwhile, preparations are in full swing for the oath-taking ceremony of the BJP government at the historic Ramlila Ground in Delhi on Thursday. The name of the Chief Minister will be chosen by the BJP Legislature Party at its headquarters on Wednesday evening. After the meeting, a signed letter of support from all the MLAs in favour of the new Chief Minister and Leader of the House will be presented to Lieutenant Governor (L-G) V.K. Saxena.

The BJP won 48 of the 70 seats in the Assembly elections, defeating the Aam Aadmi Party, which secured 22 seats. The Congress party failed to secure a single seat for the third consecutive time.
